Kaizer Chiefs are making a clear statement of intent, bolstering their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 season. Just hours after confirming the arrival of Nkanyiso Shinga on Tuesday, the Glamour Boys announced further additions to their squad.
The Soweto giants officially announced the signings of attacking midfielder Ethan Chislett and striker Flavio Silva, rounding out a trio of new additions that signal a serious intent for the new campaign.
As previously reported by FARPost, all three deals have now been sealed, setting the stage for an exciting pre-season for the Soweto giants.
The Glamour Boys welcome the 26-year-old Chislett, an attacking midfielder known for his creative prowess. The Durban-born playmaker joins Chiefs after a successful stint abroad, most recently with Port Vale FC in England.
On the other hand, Amakhosi have also secured the services of Portuguese striker Flavio Silva from Persebaya Surabaya in Indonesia.
The 28-year-old is a proven goal-scorer, having netted nine goals in 33 matches last season. Even more impressively, the forward boasts a remarkable record of 23 goals in 29 appearances for Persik Kediri the season prior.
These two acquisitions follow Chiefs’ earlier confirmation of Nkanyiso Shinga’s arrival. The talented 25-year-old left-back from Durban joins Amakhosi after finalising an agreement with Portuguese club FC Alverca.
Shinga is a versatile player, equally capable of operating in midfield and attack. He returns to South Africa after seven years in Portugal.
